What is Social Ministry?
The mission to which Christ calls the Church clearly includes works of charity and justice. Throughout his
public ministry, Jesus demonstrated service to others in need.
Social Ministry is an opportunity to fulfill this mission by putting our Faith into concrete action and sharing the love of God to people in our community through works of service.
